How is live-in care different from a care home?

Live-in care means your loved one stays in their own home, with a dedicated carer who provides one-to-one support tailored to their needs. Unlike a care home, they keep their routines, their belongings, and their independence. They can stay with their pets, in their community, and close to family. Many families find live-in care more personal, more flexible, and often more affordable — especially for couples.

What happens if my carer is unwell or needs time off?

If your carer needs to take time off for any reason, CareNow Live-In can help arrange a replacement carer to ensure continuity of support. We aim to find a replacement who is familiar with your loved one's needs and routine, minimising any disruption. You will always be informed and involved in any changes.

Can live-in care be arranged urgently in Esher?

Yes. We understand that many families need care urgently — after a hospital discharge, a fall, or a sudden change in a loved one's condition. CareNow Live-In specialises in fast introductions and can often have a carer in place within 24–48 hours. Call us directly on 0330 179 6313 for urgent requests.

Do I need to provide a room for the carer?

Yes. A live-in carer requires a private room in your loved one's home — a separate bedroom with a bed, storage space, and access to bathroom facilities. The room does not need to be large or specially equipped, but it should be comfortable enough for the carer to rest properly during their time off and overnight.

How much does live-in care cost per week in Esher?

Weekly rates for live-in care in Esher start from £1,295 and typically range up to £1,995, depending on the care needs involved. Complex care or specialist support may be priced higher. All pricing through CareNow Live-In is transparent — there are no hidden fees, no setup charges, and no minimum contract period.

Live-In Care in Esher | Private Care from £1,295/week

Families in Esher trust CareNow Live-In to find compassionate, reliable live-in carers without delay. We are an introduction and administrative platform connecting families across Esher and neighbouring areas with experienced, self-employed carers who move into your loved one's home and provide round-the-clock support. If you are looking for a dignified alternative to residential care — one that allows your loved one to stay in their own home with familiar routines — live-in care through our platform is a practical, flexible solution.

Who is live-in care for?

Whether it is an elderly parent living alone, a couple who want to remain together, or someone with advanced care needs, live-in care provides a level of continuity and personalisation that other care options cannot match. In Esher, families choose live-in care for loved ones recovering after hospital, those living with dementia or neurological conditions, and individuals who simply need reliable daily support. A dedicated carer living in the home means help is always available — day and night — without the disruption of moving to an unfamiliar environment.

Why families in Esher choose live-in care

Your loved one stays at home with their pets, garden, and community around them
Consistent, familiar care from one dedicated professional rather than a changing rota
Practical support that covers everything from cooking and cleaning to personal care
Families stay involved and informed, with a carer who communicates openly
Flexible arrangements — adjust or end care as your family's situation changes

How CareNow Live-In works

Step 1: Get in touch — call our care advisory line or submit a request online. We will take time to understand your loved one's needs, daily routine, and what matters most to your family.
Step 2: Meet your carer — we introduce you to a carefully selected, self-employed live-in carer whose experience and personality match your requirements. There is no obligation at this stage.
Step 3: Support starts — your carer moves into your loved one's home and begins providing dedicated, one-to-one care. We remain available for ongoing administrative support throughout the placement.

Costs and flexibility

Live-in care in Esher through our platform begins from £1,295 per week. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees — what you see is what you pay. Families can arrange care on a week-by-week basis, with the freedom to adjust as needs change. There are no long-term contracts and no setup charges. Many families are pleasantly surprised to discover that live-in care, particularly for couples, is often cheaper than residential alternatives while offering a far more personal level of support.
